"My uncle is Sinbad (the comedian/actor). He is married to my biological aunt on my dad's side, so I am not his blood relation, but his kids and wife are blood-related to me. We go on vacations with them every summer, and have for the past six or so years. We didn't for a while when he and my aunt were separated, but since they got back together, we see that family at least once a year. 

"Just got back from a vacation with them, actually. At first it was a little annoying having to stop every couple of minutes because someone asked for a picture, but eventually he stopped posing for pictures while with us. He just says, 'Sorry, I'm with my family' now. 

"Nothing terribly exciting, but he has been famous since I was born, so I didn't get a before-and-after experience. The coolest thing was definitely going to Disney/Universal with him. We got the VIP treatment and skipped every line. We rode Dueling Dragons probably five to seven times back-to-back. Three of us barfed; it was great." —u/WhatIsThisAccountFor

Born Ruth Elizabeth "Betty" Davis, starlet Bette Davis was not your typical female starlet.

The 5-foot-3 dynamo was a chain-smoking trailblazer whose trademark features stood outside the bounds of classic celebrity beauty—and whose independence and focus on career were ahead of their time. She had eyes so distinctive they inspired a 1980s hit; a competitive streak so intense it touched off one of the most famous feuds in Hollywood; and a portfolio boasting 100 films, 10 Oscar nominations, and numerous awards.

As for her chosen moniker? Davis changed her name in homage to the novel "La Cousine Bette" by Honoré de Balzac.

To honor Bette Davis' iconic career and legendary life, Stacker scoured newspaper articles, magazine profiles, film archives, award ceremony recordings, and television clips to find 25 elements of Davis' biography that you may not know. While her death was more than three decades ago, the actor's legend stretches on as utterly timeless and endlessly glamorous.

Richard Zoglin is the author of " Comedy at the Edge: How Stand-up in the 1970s Changed America ." Bad news often comes in threes, even in the world of comedy. The death on Feb. 20 of Rick Newman, the founder of New York City's landmark comedy club Catch a Rising Star, at age 81, came only a day after the passing of the club's longtime emcee (and Newman's close friend), Richard Belzer, at 78. And that was three months after Budd Friedman, owner of New York's other big comedy club of the 1970s, the Improv, died at age 90. I got to know all three while researching my book on a seminal era in stand-up comedy that has now definitively, inexorably passed into history. Catch a Rising Star and the Improv were the first clubs to feature comedians almost exclusively, places where young comics could work on their routines, try out new material — and maybe get seen by the agents and bookers who could get them jobs. Robert Klein, Jay Leno, Andy Kaufman, Richard Lewis, La...
